I could only watch about a minute of the Hammerfall vid because Windows Media is a giant piece of shit. What's the upshot at the end? Is it an advertisement for Acuvue or the Olympics or something? Or was it just totally pointless fun? Funny stuff, anyways.
Here is the original story that went with the video:

HAMMERFALL Gear Up For Swedish Grammy Awards, Olympic Theme Video Available Online

HAMMERFALL’s website (
www.hammerfall.net) has been updated with the following message from Oscar Dronjak:
“February has come, and with that two big things for us: the annual Swedish Grammy Awards next week, and the Olympics beginning on the 10th.
As I already had talked about, we recorded a video for ‘Hearts On Fire’ together with the Swedish Women’s Olympic team. It has already been played on sports channels/programs in Canada and Norway, and I hope more will follow suit.
You can now watch the video online: Windows Media, Quicktime. Here is a quicktime link:

As for the Grammy Awards, they take place next Tuesday (February 7th), and will be live on national TV4. The category we’re nominated in, ‘Hard Rock’, will be part of the broadcast this time.
Previously, the category hasn’t always been deemed suitable for television, and was edited out of the broadcast. But now it’s back, with CANDLEMASS, HARDCORE SUPERSTARS, OPETH and MESHUGGAH being the other four nominees.
Should be a great evening with these guys, good luck to all!”
